    My cat ate some of my lily shoots that I bought for half price in Homebase. I am so mad at him.
    I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off :o

    WOW you are taking a chance cutting the grass when its so wet and cold... sorry no help with the cat poo I've never found a reliable way to keep cats from pooing wherever they want but never had one poo on the grass....

  • Bit of a funny question, but anyone know how to stop cats pooping in the garden?

    The neighbouring cats have decided to use my back garden as a litter tray, and im fed up with going out there and trying to dodge the piles of poo all over my lawn.

    I don't let the kids play out there at mo, because its not clean or safe without me going out and checking all over for poo first.

    Just wondered if there was anything OS I can do about it, apart from standing guard 24hrs a day to shoo em off :rotfl:
  • We had this problem last summer and it is disgusting. I now officially hate cats. I bought catapault, a spray that is supposed to put them off. It didn't. Halves of cut up citrus fruit, worked for a little while. Throwing it back over the fence. Well it made me feel better.
    My DD got an electonic cat scarer as she had the same problem in her own garden, and she says that worked. Though it is annoying having to pay to keep someones cats off your garden.
    We were lucky the guy next door got evicted.

    Hiya, :)

    I'll move your thread across to the Greenfingered board for you, and it's likely that the Board Guide there will add your question directly onto that thread for you.

    We also have a Pet Care board which has a number of similar threads that you might find helpful...

    Pets & Pet Care


    Good luck :)
